Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Yonkers, New York who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the 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 emotional 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Yonkers, New York detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
