Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Albany who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts 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 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, NY. 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 simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
