Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in North Bridgton, ME. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often 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 hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 North Bridgton, ME. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
