What Is Drug Detox And Why Is It Necessary ?
When a person with a substance abuse problem comes to us for help, our first step in the process is to get them off the Drugs or the Alcohol, and to get the remaining residual out of their systems. Before our clients can begin there rehabilitation program they must have been clean for at least 4 days .
Once the individual has discontinued use of their particular substance, their body will begin to react both positively and negatively to the lack of the substances in their system.
Positively: the body begins the detox process, the internal organs are working hard to get the Toxins (the substance that was being used) out of the body.
Negatively: The body begins to Crave, because it is experiencing a withdrawal from the Substances it had grown accustomed too and even a Dependency.
After the Detox Program we also Have a Sauna Detox Therapy that is recommended, it is used to get the residual toxins that have been stored up in the body fat, broken down and flushed out of your system.

The amount of time required for alcohol detoxification may be anywhere from 3 to 7 days. The cost for a 7 day Drug and Alcohol Detox Treatment is $3000-7000.
Alcohol additionally affects other body systems.
Aggravation to the gastrointestinal tract can take place along with erosion of the lining of the esophagus and stomach leading to nausea and vomiting, and possibly bleeding.
