Detoxification services are available for people in Oakland Acres who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent 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 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 Oakland Acres 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 person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
