Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Hemlock who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Hemlock, New York detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
