In a professional Marthaville, LA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehab center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
