Detoxification services are offered for people in Leicester, NY. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Leicester detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
