Detoxification services are offered for people in Fair Play who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts 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 Fair Play, South Carolina detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
