Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in La Mesa who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional La Mesa, CA. detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
