Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Howard, Georgia who want professional 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 individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 Howard detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
