Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Sturdivant, Missouri who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Sturdivant, MO. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
