Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Polk who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals 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 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Polk detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
