Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Virginia Beach, Virginia who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Virginia Beach detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo 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 drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
