Detoxification services are available for people in Newark, New Jersey who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Newark, NJ. detox 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 person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
