Detoxification services are accessible for people in Potrero, California who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone 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 discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 Potrero, California detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
