Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Hunnewell who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult 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 process they have to endure 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Hunnewell, Missouri 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 drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
