Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Meigs who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Meigs, Georgia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
