Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Vineyard Haven who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
