Detoxification services are accessible for people in Lakeside who want professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main 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 psychological 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 Lakeside detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the initial stage of a comprehensive drug rehab program that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
