Detoxification services are accessible for people in Belmont, NC. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional difficulties come with this process because the body begins to go through drug and/or alcohol withdrawal, the symptoms of which can range from flu like effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Belmont, NC. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
