Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Waterford who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process 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 Waterford, California detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
