Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Allentown, NJ. who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone 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 process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Allentown detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
