Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Claymont, Delaware who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Claymont detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
