Detoxification services are offered for people in Mendota, CA. who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Mendota 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 individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
