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