Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Dunn Center who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Dunn Center detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual 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 drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
