Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Rising Star who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Rising Star detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
