Detoxification services are available for individuals in St. Marys Point, Minnesota who want assistance 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 challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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. Marys Point, Minnesota detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
