Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Unionville, Connecticut who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Unionville, Connecticut detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
