Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Vivian who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Vivian detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
