Detoxification services are available for people in Stonington, CT. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological discomforts 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 Stonington, Connecticut detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
