Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Port Sulphur, LA. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through to detox on their own.

In a professional Port Sulphur, Louisiana 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 detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehab center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
