What is Detoxification?
Detoxification, or “detox”, is the process of eliminating substances and toxins from the body. Physical detox, to support your body with removing the alcohol and/or drugs from your system, is one of the first steps in the recovery process at Villa Kali Ma. This process is different for everyone and varies depending on the type of substance(s) in your system and how long you have been using. Throughout treatment, the process of detoxification is on-going, even after withdrawal symptoms have ceased. Many of our holistic modalities such as yoga, acupuncture, massage, and the sauna support with the process of physical detoxification. Our organic, plant-based kitchen also helps to facilitate detox, as eating a diet rich in whole foods and fiber is an important aspect of supporting the body in this process. A clean diet also helps to detox from the harmful chemicals found in processed food which produce inflammation, one of the primary causes of mental and physical disease.
Alcohol Detox
The duration of alcohol detox typically lasts for a few days but can vary depending on the severity and duration of your use. In most cases, alcohol withdrawal symptoms will begin a few hours after your last drink and reach their greatest intensity up to three days after. In more severe cases, withdrawal symptoms can last for a few weeks. Detoxing from alcohol is a serious process and requires close medical monitoring and care.
Drug Detox
The symptoms and duration of drug detox carries a much wider range of possibilities. Each drug has a different set of side effects and withdrawal symptoms that can last for days to months. Detoxing from certain drugs, such as opioids or benzodiazepines, can be more uncomfortable and carrier a higher risk. It is essential to be in a safe and comfortable environment in the care of experienced professionals.
Detoxing at Villa Kali Ma
As a holistic program, our goal is to help women heal at the mind, body, and soul levels.
