Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Tahlequah who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Tahlequah, Oklahoma detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
