Detoxification services are available for people in Florence who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Florence, South Carolina detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
