Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Sand Point, AK. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Sand Point, AK. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
