Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Lena, LA. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people 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 Lena, LA. detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
