Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Penrose who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts 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 challenges 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 Penrose, Colorado detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
