Detoxification services are offered for people in Thomaston, AL. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual 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 must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Thomaston, Alabama detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
