Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Walnut Cove who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Walnut Cove detoxification 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 person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
