Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Lake Junaluska who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person 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 process they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental challenges 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Lake Junaluska, North Carolina detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
