Detoxification services are available for people in Stratford, IA. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Stratford detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo 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 simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
