Detoxification services are offered for people in Jefferson, NC. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through 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 Jefferson, North Carolina 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 individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
