Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Hickory Flat, MS. who want professional 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 people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Hickory Flat detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
