Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Hood River who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Hood River detoxification 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 individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
