Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Catawba, NC. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Catawba, NC. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
