In a professional Chaptico, Maryland detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
