The New Life Detoxification program helps the person remove the build-up of drugs in the body. This build-up creates an urge to take the drugs, even though the person truly wants to stop, and makes it harder for them to get off drugs and stay off them. This step helps remove the build-up, and the urge. Social education, delivered at various points in the program, helps the person overcome their drug addiction and become a part of the family and community once again.
