Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Thompson who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the 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 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 Thompson detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
