Detoxification services are available for people in Fort Belvoir 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 discomfort they will need to endure 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Fort Belvoir, Virginia detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
