Detoxification services are accessible for people in Madawaska who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 Madawaska, ME. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
