Detoxification services are available for individuals in Pike who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people 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 Pike detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
