Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Black Mountain who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Black Mountain detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage 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.
