Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Saratoga who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Saratoga detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
