Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Westminster who need assistance 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 people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts 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 Westminster, California detox facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
