Detoxification services are offered for people in Julian who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Julian, West Virginia detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
