Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Otis, Massachusetts who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person 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 process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Otis, MA. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
