Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Irvington, NJ. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need 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 Irvington, NJ. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through 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 simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
