Detoxification services are available for people in Folkston, Georgia who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Folkston detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
