Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Wellington who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Wellington, Florida detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
