Detoxification services are available for people in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging 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 process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional challenges 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 Pompton Lakes, NJ. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
