Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Cairo, IL. who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Cairo 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 drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
