Detoxification services are accessible for people in Boothbay, Maine who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Boothbay detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
