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