Detoxification services are offered for people in New Sharon who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional New Sharon detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
