Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Albia who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Albia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
