Detoxification services are accessible for people in Delaware Water Gap who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania detox 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 detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
