A family member is going through methadone addiction and has heard of rapid detox. He is very excited about the possibility of a quicker rehab, but I have found information that online that indicates it might not be all it is cracked up to be. What do you know?

I know that all detox products are complete crap. It's nothing more than a scam perpetrated by con artists.

The critical thing here is that there is no such thing as 'detox'. It's a made-up term that means nothing. The claims made by the people that push this is of a "100% success rate ". As nothing is ever 100% successful, you really have to ask yourself why these companies need to lie to get customers. There is absolutely no peer-reviewed evidence that this stuff works; I'm sure you don't want your family member to be part of an 'experiment'.

Very popular but a complete scam. Ask the people selling it exactly what toxins are being removed. They won't be able to tell you. and that is the red flag you need give it a big miss.
