Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Burlington, North Carolina who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 Burlington detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through 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 full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
