Detoxification services are available for individuals in Prattville, Alabama who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Prattville detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
