Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Venice, CA. who want 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 main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Venice, California detoxification 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 first step of a comprehensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain clean and sober for the long term.
