Detoxification services are accessible for people in Shaker Heights who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional discomforts 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 Shaker Heights, Ohio detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
