Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Fontana Dam, NC. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent 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 must go through 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Fontana Dam, NC. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
