Drug and Alcohol Detox

Drug and alcohol detoxification is only the first step in helping someone completely handle a substance abuse problem. Detoxing someone may be as simple as getting good sleep and nutrition for some drugs or include a medically-assisted step down to ensure that there are no severe withdrawal symptoms.

A social detoxification that doesn't use any type of replacement drugs is actually the most common. This can be done for most drugs including smaller amounts of alcohol, cocaine and crack, amphetamines and methamphetamines and even lesser amounts of opiates despite some heavier syptoms.

Medical detox facilities are typically only necessary when there are severe risks of withdrawing from the drug to prevent things like siezures. Drugs that may require a medical detox include methadone and high levels of other opiates, extreme amounts of alcohol and prescription drugs like benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, etc.), large amounts of sleeping pills (Ambien, etc.) and longer-term use of antidepressants and antipsychotics.

Biophysical Detoxification

While typical detox centers only withdraw someone from the immediate effects of the drugs they are on, scientific research has proven that most toxins leave residues behind in the body that can store in the tissue and continue to cause negative reactions such as physical cravings for the drugs, impaired cognative ability and even severe mood swings. The most effective type of thorough body cleansing to remove these residues is called a biophysical detox. This is a process where the leftover toxins are purged from the body to eliminate the lingering side effects using a specific set of nutritional supplements and extended periods of sweating in a sauna. Results from this supervised procedure are truly amazing and are only found in non-12 step rehab facilities.
