  • Medical Supervision: Expert oversight to manage withdrawal symptoms.
  • Safety: Safe environment to prevent complications.
  • Supportive Care: Access to psychological and emotional support.
  • First Step to Recovery: Prepares individuals for the journey ahead.
  • Relapse Prevention: Reduces the risk of immediate relapse through controlled environment.
