Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Essex Junction who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Essex Junction, Vermont detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
