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