Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Reads Landing who need help 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 main reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts 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 Reads Landing detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
