Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Gainesville, Florida who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual 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 will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Gainesville, Florida detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
