Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Fort Lawn, South Carolina who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted 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 must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Fort Lawn detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
