Detoxification services are offered for people in South Dartmouth, MA. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional South Dartmouth, MA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
