Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Piedmont, MO. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Piedmont detoxification 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 person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
