Detoxification services are offered for people in Monroe, Louisiana who want help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional challenges 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 Monroe, LA. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
