Detoxification services are accessible for people in Oldhams, VA. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Oldhams detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
