Detoxification services are available for people in Norwalk, IA. 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 people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Norwalk detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
