Detoxification services are available for individuals in Clayton, North Carolina who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Clayton, North Carolina detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
