Detoxification services are available for people in Stony Brook, New York who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Stony Brook, New York detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
