Detoxification services are available for individuals in Rice, VA. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual 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 process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Rice, Virginia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
