Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in St. Donatus, Iowa who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone 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 process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional St. Donatus, IA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
