What is a Drug Detox?
A Drug Detox simply removes the substance from the body in a medically safe way. If a user decides they just want a drug detox, then without the psychological aspects of addiction, the drug user will almost certainly return to drugs. Detox Costs, We include a medical detox in our rehab programmes free of charge in most cases.
Not all drug detox are the same. It all depends on the doctor prescribing the drug detox and the substances involved. Every Medical Drug Detox needs to be measured against the following:
.
- Clients age.
- Clients weight.
- How long the clients has been on the substance.
- The type of substances the client has been using.
- Clients physical health.
Drug detox needs to be handled very carefully as it can be fatal if not. Never attempt to detox yourself without medical advice.
