Detoxification services are offered for people in Oxford, NC. who need help 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 difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Oxford, North Carolina detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
