Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Larchwood who want 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 main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Larchwood, Iowa detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
