Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Kershaw who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional difficulties 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 Kershaw detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
