Detoxification services are offered for people in Sapphire, NC. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Sapphire, NC. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
