Detoxification services are available for individuals in Nauvoo, AL. who want professional help 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 addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Nauvoo, Alabama detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
