Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Oak Park who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Oak Park detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
