Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Paskenta who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts 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 Paskenta detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
