Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Mena who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Mena, Arkansas detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
