Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Otego who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone 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 have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Otego detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
