In a professional Lakehead, California detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person 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 full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
