Detoxification services are offered for people in Albany who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Albany, GA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual 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 rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
