Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Edmundson who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging 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 psychological difficulties 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 Edmundson, MO. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
