What is physical detoxification?
Drugs and alcohol are broken down and filtered in the liver. Although much of the drug leaves the body through sweat and urine some of the drug stays in the body and lodges in the fat. These drug resides can remain in the body for years after use. The problem occurs when the body goes to that stored fat for energy. This can happen when the person is tired, hungry, while they are exercising or doing any activity that causes the heart rate to speed up. When this occurs these drug residues are released back into the blood stream, sending a message to the brain causing the person to physically crave the drug, whether knowingly or unknowingly. The person will then give into the physical craving and this is when the relapse occurs. Cravings can occur even years after the person stops using drugs and an individual can experience tens of thousands of physical cravings during this period.
While most drug rehab programs consider someone detoxified after withdrawing from the drug, there body is still actually ver toxic. A medical detox program is only a supervised step-down or tapering process. A thorough physical detoxification method goes far beyond simple withdrawal and actually helps remove the remaing drug residues that are stored in the tissue.
The most successful method of removing these residues from the body is only done through first phase of the biophysical drug rehab program. It is done by undergoing a deep body cleansing process, which has been around since the late 1970's. This type of detoxification consists of time in and out of a dry heat sauna where the person sweats these residues out of the body while following a very strict vitamin, food and sleep regimen. The result is that the person will be able to break free from the physical effects of the drugs and therefore greatly reduced or completely eliminated physical cravings.
