Detoxification services are available for people in Gresham, Oregon who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological discomforts 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 Gresham, OR. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
