Detoxification services are available for individuals in Ballwin who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted 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 endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Ballwin, Missouri detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
