Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Monroe Bridge who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Monroe Bridge, Massachusetts detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
