How Long Does Detox Take?
This is not an easy question, because every substance has a different half life and many other variables. For example, the older you are, the harder it is for your body to expel the substance. We also have to take into consideration how much and how long the substance was used. Here are a few factors that dictate how long a detox will take:
- Dosage and quantity of the drug or alcohol being used
- The substances half life
- How long the substance was used (days or years?)
- How was the substance used? Was it smoked or injected or ingested via pill form?
- Age of the patient. The older you are, the harder it is for the body to expel the substance.
- Health of the patient.
- How many different substances were abused?
