Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. detoxification
Detoxification is the acute phase of withdrawal from a substance, often requiring medical monitoring and medications to manage symptoms and ensure safety.

B. seclusion
Seclusion is used in cases of violent or dangerous behavior, not specifically tied to withdrawal treatment.

Too vague; "primary" doesn’t describe a specific clinical phase of substance abuse treatment.

D. pharmacological
While medications may be used, "pharmacological" is a treatment method, not the name of the phase.
