Effective Detox Missing from Most Drug Rehabs

Ask just about anyone in the country, whether they work in the drug and alcohol rehab treatment field or not, what they consider to be detox and the explanation you will get will be nothing more than withdrawal.  Sure, it might be in a social or medical setting or have various ingredients, but it is still only withdrawal, because science has proven that toxic residues store in the tissue of a person’s body and are still present long after they stop using drugs.

The only known method to remove these residues safely and effectively in a relatively short period of time is through a biophysical detox program, which can still last many weeks as part of a longer-term inpatient rehabilitation facility.  Sure, your body will do this on its own naturally, but it can take up to 5-7 years for cellular regeneration (like re-growing a new head of hair). 

This means that none of the other 13,000+ rehab programs out there can effectively help someone become thoroughly detoxified, and that at the end of their course of treatment there, addicted individuals are still under the residual effects of drugs - including cravings to go use again.

So why risk it?  Why not give yourself or your loved one the best possible opportunity to recover by getting their bodies completely detoxified?
