Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Farmingdale, ME. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through to detox on their own.

In a professional Farmingdale detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
