Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Leavenworth who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often 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 challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional difficulties 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Leavenworth detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo 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 rehab, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
