Detoxification services are available for people in Sausalito who want 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 difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological difficulties 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 Sausalito detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through 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 rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
