Detoxification services are available for people in River Pines, California who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often 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 hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional River Pines, California detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
