Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Astoria, OR. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Astoria detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
