Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Olmsted who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through 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 Olmsted detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
