Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Norridge 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 main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Norridge detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
