In a professional Pine Island, NY. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
