Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Harrisonburg, VA. who want professional 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 main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Harrisonburg detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
