Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in North Port who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 North Port detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo 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 initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
