Detoxification services are available for individuals in Bowie, MD. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging 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 have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Bowie, MD. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through 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 full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
