Detoxification services are accessible for people in Lakehurst, New Jersey who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure 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 Lakehurst detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
