The process of removing narcotic substances or their effects from something, especially from a person through treatment.
From de- (remove) + narcotic (from Greek narkotikos, from narke 'numbness') + -ization (suffix forming nouns of action). The term emerged in medical and pharmacological contexts in the 20th century.
Denarcotization became an important term in addiction medicine—it describes both the physical and psychological process of cleansing the body of narcotic dependence, a concept that transformed how we treat substance abuse.
