Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in West Haven, CT. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 West Haven detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial 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.
