Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in West Hatfield, Massachusetts who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging 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 process they have to go through 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional West Hatfield detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
