Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Pittsville, Virginia who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Pittsville, Virginia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
