Detoxification services are offered for people in St. Charles who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional St. Charles, Illinois detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through 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 rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
