Detoxification services are accessible for people in Danville, Virginia who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts 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 Danville, Virginia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
