Detox USA examines the proliferating rehabilitation centers and detoxification retreats of the United States as isolation and withdrawal facilities where a new human behavior is designed. This exhibit traces the rise of contemporary detox clinics back to the rural retreats and institutes that became popular in California during the 1960s and 1970s. Ironically enough, these were places where experimentation with drugs was part of a therapeutic process to reach a new level of awareness.
