Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Breaux Bridge 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 simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
