Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Del Norte who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent 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 will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Del Norte, Colorado detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person 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 full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
