Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Tama who need 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 challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Tama detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
