Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Des Plaines who need 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 individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Des Plaines detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo 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 merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
