Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Shoemakersville who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone 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 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 Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
