Detoxification services are offered for people in Whitmore, California who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Whitmore, California detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
