Detoxification services are available for people in Atlantic who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional discomforts 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Atlantic, NC. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
