Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Jacksonville who want assistance 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 individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional discomforts 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 Jacksonville, FL. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
