Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Sandston, Virginia who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Sandston, Virginia detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
