Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in North Eastham who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual 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 must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional North Eastham, Massachusetts detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
