Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Ottumwa, IA. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent 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 endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological discomforts 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 Ottumwa, IA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial 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.
