Detoxification services are accessible for people in Laurel Springs who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Laurel Springs detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through 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 simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
