Rapid Detox
March 10th 2010 22:02
For years i worked as a substance abuse counselor so I've certainly seen my share of detox programs. I've also seen the failures and few successes of attendees.
Recently I read about a new form of detox and am very impressed with the process and the potential for this method. It is called rapid detox. So what is rapid detox, let's take a look.
To start with rapid detox is for opiate addiction. If you were to quit opiates cold turkey, you would have at least 8 days of withdrawal that goes from the worst to better as the days pass. With rapid detox you can complete physical withdrawal in 8 hours of treatment while under anesthesia. Following this procedure you get three days of one on one care.
Now of course, that isn't the end of it, because you have only addressed the physical addiction. You will need to get into therapy after your release to ensure your success. This is definitely an option you should look at if you have this problem as it will reduce your suffering tenfold.
