Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Byram who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Byram detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
