Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Equality who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts 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 emotional 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Equality detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
