Detoxification services are offered for people in Marlborough, MA. who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 Marlborough, MA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
