Detoxification services are offered for people in Point Mugu Nawc, California who want assistance coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual 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 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Point Mugu Nawc detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo 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 program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
