Detoxification services are accessible for people in Formoso who need assistance 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 reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological challenges 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Formoso detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
