Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Fall River, Massachusetts who want 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 main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Fall River detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo 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 simply the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
