Detoxification services are offered for people in Eielson AFB, Alaska who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Eielson AFB detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
