Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Cullowhee who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent 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 must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Cullowhee, NC. 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 person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
