Detoxification services are available for individuals in Elk Grove Village who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted 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 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Elk Grove Village detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
