Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Lawndale who want 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 reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Lawndale, Illinois detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
