Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in South Charleston who need help coming off of drugs, which can be 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 process they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 South Charleston, WV. 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 an extensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
