Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Mendocino, CA. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual 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 Mendocino, CA. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
