Detoxification services are available for people in Dixfield who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional challenges 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Dixfield, Maine detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
