Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Kahuku, Hawaii who need 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 addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to 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 Kahuku detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
