Detoxification services are available for people in Startex who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Startex, South Carolina detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
