Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Stratford who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Stratford, VA. detox 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 detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
