Detoxification services are available for people in Pulaski, MS. who need assistance 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 main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 Pulaski detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through 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 rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
