The History of Detox


Private homes seconded for detox
when it was time for a break from the drink
Hospital beds for the very sick.

Social Detoxes with three hots and a cot
when social transition was needed as bodies mounted.
Hospital beds for the very sick.

Treatment centers of thirty days or more
to teach ‘them’ what to do and when to do it.
Hospital beds for the very sick.

Medical detox facilities thinly spread
when all those programs were still not enough
Hospital beds for the very sick.

“You have to look at history as an evolution of society.”
~ Jean Chretien
