Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Hopkinton, MA. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol.

In a professional Hopkinton, MA. 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 detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
