Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Lake Park, Iowa who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Lake Park detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
