Detoxification services are offered for people in Braithwaite, LA. who want assistance 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 main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Braithwaite, LA. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo 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 merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
