Detoxification services are accessible for people in St. Mary 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 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 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional St. Mary detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
