Detoxification services are offered for people in Townshend, Vermont who want professional help 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 reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Townshend, VT. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
