At first, I was a little skeptical of the sauna program. I did do some research and after reading the success stories from others (online) I thought I might just give it a try.

I have tried other methods in the past and I have never felt as good as I did when I finished the sauna program. In just about under 30 days, all the restlessness and pain from the last 4 years of opiate use has finally left my body.

I gained 20 pounds, have tons of energy and confidence, feel extremely healthy and I am ready to finally live my life again without feeling like a “prisoner” to my addiction. – N.D. Oct 2011

When I first started the Sauna Detox Program I could barely concentrate on anything. My body was always tired and achy and I was still physically craving drugs. Now that I am finished with the Sauna Program I have an extreme lust for life. All I want to do is play and experience new things. I have a lot more energy now!

When people talk about drugs I have absolutely no physical or mental cravings anymore. It is incredible how much the fog has been lifted from my mind. I feel happier and it takes little to make me laugh! I can’t even explain how important the Sauna Program is to me. It changed everything in my life!

The old me came back even better!  H.H. – Jan 2011

I have to admit that in the beginning, I was a bit skeptical of the process. Now having gone through the program thus far, I am totally impressed and convinced. I wasn’t sure what to expect as the program was progressing, but as it did, emotional and physical symptoms I had forgotten, or didn’t even realize were there, came out. For example – the irritability (unprovoked) that I ran through, and the somatic symptoms of a prior surgery on my ankle. Fascinating!

When the day approached, as stated in the book, I “knew” when I was “done”. I was amazed. No thunderbolts or lightning or drama – it was subtle, yet profound sense of purpose, resolve and calm. Absolutely astonishing. Obviously, it was noticeable because my partner was impressed enough with my progress during the program that he decided to go through the program at home as well.

Thank you, thank you. You have given me the new beginning I’ve been looking for and unable to grasp for some time now. Onward!!! – M.F. – Aug 2010

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.

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.
