Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Clearlake, CA. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 Clearlake detox facility, detoxification services help the person 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 rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
