Detoxification services are available for individuals in West Mystic, CT. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts 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 psychological 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional West Mystic, CT. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
