In a professional Burtonsville detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
