Detoxification services are offered for people in Whitesburg, Tennessee who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure 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 Whitesburg detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
