Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Ferndale, Michigan who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need 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 Ferndale, Michigan detox facility, detoxification services help the individual 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 step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
