In a professional Big Pool, Maryland detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
