Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Gladstone, VA. who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Gladstone, VA. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
