Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Tujunga, California who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 Tujunga, California detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
