Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Eastport who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Eastport detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo 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 rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
