Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Onalaska, Wisconsin who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Onalaska, Wisconsin detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
