Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Paradis, Louisiana who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Paradis detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
