Detoxification services are offered for people in Dana Point, California who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Dana Point, California detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
