Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Essex, MT. who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Essex, Montana detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
