Detoxification services are available for people in Dante who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional difficulties 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 Dante detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
