Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Nicolaus, California who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have 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 Nicolaus detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
