Detoxification services are accessible for people in East Haven, CT. who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 East Haven detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
