The duration of a drug detox depends on various factors, such as the degree of physical dependence and the type of medication. As a rule, detoxification lasts from a few days to several weeks. Hypnotherapy can be used as a supportive tool in this process to reduce withdrawal symptoms and facilitate the process of detoxification. However, it is important to note that detoxification is only the first step on the road to permanent recovery and long-term therapy and support is necessary to maintain abstinence.
