Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 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 person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
