Detox

Since I have been spending so many hours in front of the computer, mostly unable to type with both hands, I have read a lot of interesting stuff. Recently I was looking at a website about rapid detox. I never even knew these programs existed. I thought if you went to rehab, it was at least a 30 day commitment.

Apparently at this center, you do an 8-hour detox while under anesthesia, and by the time you wake up you have already "gone past" the equivalent of eight days of withdrawal. I had a relative who went through rehab several times before getting clean and I know the withdrawal and pain was the dealbreaker for her every time. I wonder if anything like this existed them? It says that it costs at least $12,000 for a treatment and that insurance doesn't cover it. That's a lot of money- but if it worked it would be worth it.

I did notice this particular website had some misspellings and errors on it, though, which wouldn't exactly inspire confidence in their program!
