Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Old Forge, Pennsylvania who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Old Forge detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
