Detoxification services are offered for people in Northfield, VT. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological challenges 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 Northfield, VT. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual 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 rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
