Detoxification services are accessible for people in Drytown who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 Drytown, California detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
