In a professional Palo Alto, California detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
