Detoxification services are offered for people in Iron Mountain 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 main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional discomforts 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Iron Mountain, MI. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
