Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Slatington who need 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 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 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Slatington, Pennsylvania detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
