Detoxification services are offered for people in Eugene who need help 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 hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Eugene detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
