Detoxification services are accessible for people in Alamo Heights who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people 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 emotional discomforts 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Alamo Heights detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
