Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Yuma who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Yuma detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
