Detoxification services are offered for people in Shelburne, Vermont who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through to detox on their own.

In a professional Shelburne, VT. 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 person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
