Detoxification services are available for individuals in Rocky Mount who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Rocky Mount, Virginia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person 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 rehab, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
