ABSTRACT

If you have a severe drug addiction that you want to stop, you can enter a detoxification program. During your stay, you will be supervised in a controlled setting where you will not have access to your drug of choice, thus having time to get it out of your system and for your body to go through withdrawal, thereby “cleansing the system.” At this point, you can take steps to make lifestyle changes and seek out additional treatments to focus on developing and maintaining a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
