A detox is where the substance you are addicted to is simply removed from the body in a medical and safe way, ie, Drugs or alcohol. You must remember that a detox does NOT cure an addiction. It removes the substance from your body, yes, but then without the psychological aspects of addiction the user will almost certainly return to there addiction. I hear time and time again of people who have had a 5 day detox, a 7 day detox or even a 14 day detox who have all gone back to drinking or drugs within a few days of being at home.

A MEDICAL DETOX ALONE VERY RARELY CURES AN ADDICTION PROBLEM. 

Every medical detox needs to be measured against the following:

• Clients age
• Clients weight
• How long the client has been on the substance
• The type of substance the client has been using
• The clients physical health

A detox needs to be handled very carefully as it can be FATAL if not.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO DETOX YOURSELF (without medical advice)

There are certain drugs which do not need a medical detox. These are:

• Cannabis
• LSD (acid)
• Crack Cocaine
• Powder Cocaine

In these cases where a medical detox is not needed we issue medication for the following:

• Restore there appetites
• Restore there natural sleep pattern
