Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Castro Valley, CA. who want help 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 reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Castro Valley detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
