In a professional Perryville detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
