Detoxification services are offered for people in Batavia, Iowa who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Batavia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
