Detoxification services are available for people in Norton who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Norton, Virginia detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
