Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in New Athens 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 individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional New Athens detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
