Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Troy who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Troy, New York detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
