Detoxification services are available for individuals in San Quentin, CA. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 San Quentin, CA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
