Is detoxification necessary in treating alcohol addiction?

Can you answer izzie’s question about Addiction?:

My best friend is an alcoholic. I accompanied him to a alcohol rehab last Wednesday because I finally convinced him to get some help. The doctor and the counselor said that he has to undergo a detoxification first. What is detoxification? Is it really necessary? My best friend is asking me these questions and I don’t know what to answer.
