Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in North Fort Myers, Florida who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional challenges 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 North Fort Myers, Florida detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
