Detoxification services are offered for people in Midlothian who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Midlothian detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
