Tip 27 Using Rapid Detox
Rapid detox is the process of ridding the body of drugs that are highly addictive. Highly addictive drugs, such as Methadone and heroin, are rapidly purging from the body so that the drug addict can begin a program of drug rehabilitation. Rapid detox must be done under medical supervision under the care of a doctor and medical team.
Rapid detox is often done through a procedure that is known as reversal. During this rapid detox procedure the individual is put under a general anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. After the reversal procedure is complete the person is put onto a drug detox program to handle the symptoms of behavioral withdrawal. It is recommended that after rapid detox is complete the person undergo counseling to deal with behavior modification. |
