Detoxification services are offered for people in St. Francis, SD. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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. Francis detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
