Detoxification services are offered for people in Petaluma, California who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must 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 Petaluma, CA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
