Detoxification services are offered for people in North Pownal, VT. who need assistance 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 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional North Pownal, VT. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
