In a professional Fort Edward, New York 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 person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
