Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Augusta, MO. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure 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 Augusta, MO. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
