Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in East Palo Alto, CA. who want assistance 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 people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional East Palo Alto detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
