Detoxification services are available for individuals in Cortlandt Manor who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult 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 discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Cortlandt Manor detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
