Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Canisteo, NY. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone 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 process they must 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Canisteo detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
