San Francisco Drug Treatment

Detoxification or detox is the removal of toxic substances from our body. This is mainly used for substances where the withdrawal symptoms are extremely intense, such as alcohol or heroin. Alcohol has one of the strongest withdrawals of any substance, oftentimes more extreme than drugs like meth, crack, or cocaine. Potentially deadly, alcohol can cause serious long-term health problems. Having a proper detox facility can help to combat this. Heroin withdrawal has perhaps the strongest withdrawal symptoms of any substance, and detoxification can be essential to help an addict recover without extreme psychological and physical suffering. After detoxification is completed the user should go through a treatment program in order to deal with their addiction and insure that it will not happen again. Below are the facilities within the greater San Francisco area and San Francisco County that offer detoxification treatment in addition to their normal facilities.
