Detoxification services are offered for people in Onsted who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted 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 will need to endure 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 Onsted detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
