Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Placitas who need assistance 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 addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Placitas detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
