Detoxification services are accessible for people in Cummaquid who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure 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 Cummaquid detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
