Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Hastings who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Hastings detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through 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 merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
