Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Santee, SC. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Santee, South Carolina detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
