Detoxification services are offered for people in Daly City, California who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to 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 Daly City detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
