Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Hope who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Hope detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
