Detoxification services are available for people in Dunstable, MA. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Dunstable, MA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
