Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Melrose, IA. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own.

In a professional Melrose, Iowa detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
