Detoxification services are available for individuals in Shaw A F B, South Carolina who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Shaw A F B detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual 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 merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
