Detoxification services are available for people in Sioux City, Iowa 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 people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Sioux City detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
