As with anything else worthwhile, you get out of it what you put into it. If you are going in expecting to be "fixed " then no, it won't work. But if you are going in to learn how to not drink, and be a sober person, then yes it will work. The detox part isn't too bad. They will give you medication to keep you comfortable and medically safe. That should last from 3-5 days. I would suggest staying for rehab, not just going home after detox. There is a lot of behavior modification that you will need to learn. You can't just keep doing everything the same and expect not to drink. I wish you luck.

Milk thistle Milk thistle helps protect the liver from the toxins it collects and breaks down. It contains a constituent called silymarin, which has been the subject of numerous liver-health studies. Silymarin helps liver cells regenerate and stabilizes liver cell membranes. It actually changes the structure of the outer liver cell membrane, preventing toxins and poisons from entering the cell.
