How to Detox Your Body From Drugs

The purpose of detoxification is to remove toxins from the body. Toxins accumulate in the body from drug use. If they are not removed, these toxins will cause cravings for the drug again. Toxins are eliminated through the kidneys, bowels, skin and lungs. Removal of chemicals from the body can cause physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the medication, withdrawal symptoms may include anxiety, depression, palpitations, seizures and stroke. Never stop taking prescribed medication suddenly without speaking with your physician, this can be dangerous. Before starting a detoxification program, consult your physician.
