Detoxification services are available for individuals in Otis who need assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Otis, LA. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
