Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Upper Kalskag, AK. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Upper Kalskag detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
