Most people consider detox to be a one-week stay in a short-term rehab or hospital to "dry out". While this may be true sometimes, there are actually several different types of detoxification programs that a person can go through.

The first type is called a medical detox. This is becoming more common in recent years because of the potentially deadly withdrawal effects from today's high-powered pharmaceutical cocktails. It is not unusual to hear of an addict being on alcohol or some type of street drug, and then being prescribed one more more drugs on top of that such as painkillers, muscle relaxers, antidepressants, antipsychotics, sleep aides and anti-anxiety drugs. This type of detox center is a medically-monitored environment where the person can be weaned off the drugs in a controlled place and may be given substitute drugs for stabilizers for a very short period of time.

There is an extended detoxification procedure that is gaining recognition as being much more than just therapeutic, and that is where a person does a full body cleansing process using nutritional supplements and a sauana. This type of detox has many applications, and in the drug rehabilitation field has been found to be extremely helpful for eliminating stored drug residues and reducing physical cravings.

Most rehab programs offer a typical social detox, which is more of a plain withdrawal without using any replacement drugs. A tapering process may be used to curb the major withdrawal symptoms' intensity. This method is the most used and is pefectly safe more most addicts.
