Detoxification services are offered for people in Oak Ridge, NJ. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Oak Ridge, NJ. 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 person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
