Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Island Park, NY. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Island Park, NY. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
