Detoxification services are available for people in Atoka who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent 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 go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Atoka detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
