Detoxification services are offered for people in Marthasville who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have 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 Marthasville, Missouri detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
