Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Palatine, Illinois who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Palatine detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
