Detoxification services are offered for people in Oakland who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological challenges 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 Oakland, Florida detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
