Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Florence, Alabama who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure 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 Florence, AL. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
