As an addiction psychiatrist, you know the goal of any detox program is physiological healing after long-term drug addiction. Perhaps your sessions start with stabilization then detoxification. Tell the interviewer about a particular patient's story, keeping confidentiality in mind. Explain the type of detox your patient went through, the stages and withdraw symptoms.

"My last detox patient was working through heroin addiction. We opted for a medical detox to make it a bit easier on the patient. The patient continues to see me once a week and has been sober for three months."
