In a professional West Leyden, NY. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
