Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Godfrey, Illinois who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Godfrey, Illinois detox 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 full rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
