Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Cordova, MD. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Cordova, MD. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
