In a professional Tahoe City, CA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
