Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Howell, NJ. who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Howell, NJ. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
