Detoxification services are accessible for people in North Chatham, NY. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological discomforts 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 North Chatham, NY. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
