Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Cape Girardeau, MO. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Cape Girardeau detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
