Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Portage who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Portage, Wisconsin detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo 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 rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
