Detoxification services are available for individuals in Pomfret who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard 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 Pomfret detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
