Detoxification services are offered for people in Homer, NY. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person 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 have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Homer, New York detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
