Detoxification services are offered for people in St. David who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging 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 mental discomforts 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 St. David, Illinois detoxification 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 rehab, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
