Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Rockville, MD. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Rockville, MD. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
