Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Fords who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 Fords detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
