Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Ford City 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 reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to 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 Ford City detoxification 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 detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
