Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Albany, OR. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Albany, OR. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
