Detoxification services are offered for people in Stephen who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main 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 psychological 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Stephen detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
