Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Metlakatla, AK. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted 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 have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional discomforts 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Metlakatla, AK. detox 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 detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
