Detoxification services are offered for people in Monrovia, MD. who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they will need to endure 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Monrovia detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through 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 rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
