Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Hood who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Hood, VA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
