Detoxification services are available for individuals in Meriden, CT. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Meriden, Connecticut detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
