Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Whelen Springs, AR. who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional difficulties 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 Whelen Springs, Arkansas detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through 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 drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
