Detoxification services are offered for people in Nanuet, New York who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Nanuet detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
