Detoxification services are offered for people in Garrett Park, MD. who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Garrett Park detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
