Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Addis who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual 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 process they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Addis, Louisiana detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
