Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Wood Heights who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main 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 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Wood Heights, Missouri detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through 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 stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
