Detoxification services are offered for people in Norwood who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must 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 Norwood detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
