Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Edwardsville who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Edwardsville, IL. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
