Detoxification is the neutralization and elimination of toxic substances from the body by physical, biological and chemical methods. Detoxification therapy is used for poisoning of various etiologies, including in the rehabilitation of drug addicts and alcoholics. From physiology we know that poisons and their decay products accumulate in the blood of a person, fatty tissue, liver, kidneys. At the same time, the longest toxic substances remain in the adipose tissue. And they produce a negative effect with a detached effect. Therefore, purification of the body through its detoxification is an integral measure in the rehabilitation of alcohol-dependent and drug-dependent patients.
Even after complete abstinence from taking alcohol and other psychoactive substances( cocaine, hashish, heroin, mescaline, peyote, marijuana, ecstasy and others), if you do not do detoxification therapy, their residual products can poison the body for several more years. Detoxification is very beneficial for the undermined health of dependent people.
Unfortunately, not only drugs and alcohol are accumulating in the tissues of the human body, but also artificial food additives, medicines, the means used in growing food products, etc., which are in what we eat and drink.
The course of detoxification( detoxification therapy) is carried out for two to three weeks. A person who has undergone a course of purification begins to feel completely different, new plans for life, energy, a sense of ease appear. After all, a person is no longer disturbed by a deposit of toxins from alcohol and drugs. It is the procedure of detoxification that reduces the side effects of the withdrawal syndrome to zero, a person quickly forgets about his pathological passion for alcohol or drugs.
At the initial, first stage of treatment, alcoholism begins to detoxify the body. It favors the initiation of treatment, restores the somatic and, accordingly, the patient's mental functions by medical methods.
Sometimes, in cases of severe alcohol poisoning or narcotic, it is necessary to carry out rapid detoxification by hemodialysis. This is extracorporeal detoxification. The earlier the procedure started after the treatment, the more effective it will be. With addiction and alcoholism, detoxification should quickly reduce the concentration of toxic substances in the patient's blood. There are other ways of extracorporeal detoxification, they are used in specific cases of body cleansing.
In children, with severe poisoning, detoxification is also carried out.
