Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Detoxification procedures aim to safely manage the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. They do not involve increasing the dose of the substance to make it aversive; instead, they focus on reducing or eliminating the substance from the body and may involve using medication to ease withdrawal symptoms, tapering off the substance, or providing supportive care in various settings. Increasing the substance dose could be dangerous and counterproductive to the goal of detoxification.
