Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Lorena who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Lorena detoxification 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 simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
