Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Sullivans Island who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through 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 Sullivans Island, South Carolina detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
