Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Jacksonville who want professional help 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 have to 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 Jacksonville detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
