Detoxification services are available for individuals in Islip who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Islip, New York detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
