Detoxification services are accessible for people in Shapleigh who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological challenges 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 Shapleigh detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
