Detoxification services are available for people in North Windham, Connecticut who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional North Windham detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
