Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person 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 process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
