Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Ferndale, California who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Ferndale, California detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
