Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Lomita who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure 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 effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Lomita, California detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
