In a professional Montegut detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
