Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Geraldine, Alabama who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Geraldine detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
