Detoxification services are offered for people in Thomaston who want assistance 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 people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 Thomaston, Georgia detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
