Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Lettsworth who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Lettsworth, Louisiana detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
