Detoxification services are offered for people in Lopez Island, WA. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Lopez Island, Washington detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
