Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Monkton who need help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Monkton, Vermont detoxification 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 step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
