Detoxification services are available for people in Islip Terrace, NY. who want assistance 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 main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional challenges 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 Islip Terrace, NY. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
