Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Pawcatuck, Connecticut who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 Pawcatuck detox 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 detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
