Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Ansonia, CT. who need 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 discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Ansonia, CT. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical 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 rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
