Detoxification services are accessible for people in Summit who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological challenges 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 Summit, New Jersey detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
