Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Edwardsville, AL. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often 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 hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental challenges 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 Edwardsville detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
