Detoxification services are available for individuals in Burlington, VT. who need assistance 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 main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Burlington, VT. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
