In a professional Guerneville, CA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
