Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Monroe who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Monroe detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person 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 rehab, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
