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