Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Clayton who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone 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 discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Clayton, California detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
