The approach is novel. At the same time it is propelling with great momentum. Many drug rehabilitation programs have picked up the sauna-based detoxification process as a better way of cure to apply on the drug addicted patients and thus have set a new record of great results.
Little more time for better recovery
The program has been set up on a long-term basis and the use of alternative medicines has been completely put off. Though the time required is long yet the success rate is high.
The Second Chance Centers and the Second Chance Programs are very new concepts which have evolved from the idea that a drug addict need not only be cured but also given a second opportunity to lead a stable social life after becoming well. The process of rehabilitation is equally responsible to provide the victim with the social security in every sense and give full cooperation to bring him/her back to normal stage and normal living.
Different features of the program
* The program is devised in the form of a team work.
* There is a trained professional and 3 to 4 attendants to look after one patient.
* The main purpose of the sauna detoxification cure is to allow the patient to get involved into physical tasks and adequate supplements of vitamins and minerals will be provided simultaneously.
* Precisely the course of medicines has been designed in the form of vitamins and minerals and it is tried to substantiate these essential nutrients directly through diet instead of medicinal pills.
* The patient is provided with full support to come out of any type of traumatic situation.
* Why is the longer duration given so much importance in this type of treatment? The main stress is on the removal of all types of toxins and residual materials that have gathered in the patient's metabolic system in all these years.
* The treatment is not just directed towards suppressing the cause of drug addiction but cutting it down from the roots.
* Drill based communication oriented exercises are scheduled to increase the involvement of the patient. The more the chances for communication are provided to the individual, the better he/she reacts and try to cope up with the situation. The freedom of expression allows the person to give up pangs and prejudices and thus attaining relief at mental level becomes easier.
Thus sauna-based detoxification to cure a drug addict is a complete package stuffed with physical exercise, metal exercises, communication process and nutritional support with medical aid. What better alternative can you really provide to bring home the person who has been distracted from normal social life?

The Modern Lily Tomlin
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 29/09/2008
I’m waiting in a conference room that smells like the corner of career aspiration and stale office carpet. The overly heavy and overly bitter receptionist has a voice that is piercing through the makeshift conference room with walls that only go up about 7 feet. Like an annoying hiccup, she keeps repeating “Good morning, Hudson. Your name? Hold please.” Over and over again. She is an extra large version of what the rest of the world has automated already.
