Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Harrisburg who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Harrisburg detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
