Disintoxication refers to the process of detoxifying, the removal of toxic substances from the body. Some synonyms for this word include detoxification, purification, cleansing, rehabilitation, decontamination, and remediation. All these words essentially refer to the same process of ridding the body of harmful substances, but they may have different connotations depending on the context. For instance, rehabilitation may suggest a longer process of healing, while decontamination may refer specifically to the removal of environmental toxins. However, in general, disintoxication and its synonyms all involve an active effort to improve one's health by eliminating harmful substances from the body.
