Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Dewitt, VA. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental challenges 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Dewitt, VA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
