Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Ellsworth, Illinois who want 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 reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Ellsworth detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
