Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Malibu who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Malibu, California detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
