Detoxification services are offered for people in Stanwood who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone 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 discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Stanwood, IA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
