Sauna Detox Success

When I came into Pür Detox a month ago, I was bewildered, confused and full of despair. I wanted to help but I had lost hope with traditional forms of treatment like a 12 step program. I was treated by the staff with so much warmth and compassion and respect right from the beginning. I knew in my heart I was in the right place. My despair slowly grew into hope (due largely to the genuine help of each staff member). Once I recovered from withdrawal symptoms I started the Sauna Detox Program. I quickly realized the benefits physically, spiritually and emotionally. I finally felt that I was totally eliminating the poisons that had been accumulating in my body. My mental sharpness returned. My focus and clarity returned. I was remembering things so clearly and could concentrate again. I was calm and peaceful again. I felt vibrant and full of energy.

The sauna totally exceeded my expectations, but truly the support, expertise and empathy of the staff was absolutely outstanding. I feel like myself again, in a way I haven’t felt in years. Confident, enthusiastic, optimistic and full of life!

Thank you so much.

Signs of continued opiate abuse

purdetox — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 02:51:37 +0000

I remember reading a NY Times article last month about soaring opiate abuse amongst our military troops. Something like several hundred times more military personnel seeking treatment for opiate abuse last year compared to several years back.

I thought of this when looking over paperwork for just another client checking into our facility this week. Yup, opiate detox. Made me think of that article for some reason.

But none of the recent clients are military personnel. This isn’t just a problem of “opiate abuse in the military up 400%.” This is a general public problem. A problem on the streets and in the homes right here in the good ol’ U.S. of A.

Mothers, fathers, children, teachers, clergy, doctors, counselors, etc., etc. This problem is knocking on a lot of doors. More doors than any of us really like to imagine. But I see them knocking at my door now. I’m sitting here looking at up trending statistics in my facility for the past year. It’s easily our greatest detox program item at this point.

Opiate abuse is not a foreign neighbor. Open your eyes and it is very possibly sitting right next door. And those being affected by it I guarantee you are quietly screaming for help. And I’m not talking just about the users. I’m talking about those loved ones around the users. The wife. The daughter. The husband. The son. The grandparent.

But hey! Let’s just take more pain killers and kill the thought of it. Yeah, it’ll be all good after that. Yeah, it’ll be all good.

Withdrawal symptoms, similar in character to those noted with barbiturates and alcohol have occurred following abrupt discontinuance of Ativan. The more severe withdrawal symptoms have usually been limited to those patients who received excessive doses over an extended period of time.

Xanax withdrawal can produce especially severe withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms that are similar to those in alcohol.
