Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Santo Domingo Pueblo who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual 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 discomfort they will need to go through 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Santo Domingo Pueblo, NM. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
