Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Clear Lake who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Clear Lake, Iowa detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
