Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Lawndale who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons individuals 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 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Lawndale detox facility, detoxification services help the individual 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 full rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
