Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Union Lake who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure 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 Union Lake detox 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 step of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
