Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Freeport who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people 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 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 Freeport detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
