Detoxification services are offered for people in Des Moines who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 Des Moines, NM. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual 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 rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
