Detoxification services are offered for individuals in South Sterling, Pennsylvania who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional South Sterling detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
