Detoxification services are accessible for people in Gardner who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Gardner, IL. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
