Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Merry Hill who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Merry Hill, North Carolina 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 individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
