Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Hemphill who want assistance 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 individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Hemphill detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox 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 individual can remain abstinent.
