Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Millbury who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Millbury detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
