Detoxification services are accessible for people in Bridgeport who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional challenges 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 Bridgeport, California detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
