Notes time to give bull treatment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detox

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'treatment' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'notes time to give bull' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'de' (two musical notes).
'time to give' becomes 't' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bull' becomes 'ox'.
'de'+'t'+'ox'='DETOX'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for detox that I've seen before include "Process of removing poisons from the body" , "Remove poisons from the body" , "Rid of poison" , "Treatment for alcoholism" , "Period of abstention" .)
