Detoxification services are available for people in Dahlgren, Virginia who need help 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 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 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Dahlgren, VA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
