Detoxification services are offered for people in Augusta, KS. who want assistance 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 reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own.

In a professional Augusta, Kansas detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
