Detoxification services are offered for people in Fairfax who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Fairfax, South Carolina detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
