Detoxification services are available for individuals in Pickstown who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Pickstown 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 detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
