APsychotherapy
BRehabilitation
CVocational training
DDetoxification
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Detoxification
1. De-addiction proceeds through several stages.
2. The first phase is detoxification, where the drug is withdrawn gradually and withdrawal symptoms are treated with medication.
3. Psychotherapy (counselling) and rehabilitation (vocational training) follow later, so A, B and C are not the first phase.
4. Hence the answer is D.
