Detoxification services are offered for people in Ethel, LA. who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological challenges 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 Ethel detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug rehabilitation program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
