Drug treatment in Los Angeles can be found literally everywhere. But getting quality drug treatment that includes medical detoxification requires some investigation since there are hundreds of options available.

Some treatment providers actually refer potential patients to hospitals or physicians, or even leave the drug detox process up to the addict. This places a heavy burden on addicts because they lack the basic discipline it takes to regulate the use of any drug, including detox drugs. And without the guidance and resourcefulness of an addiction counselor to lead them through this difficult time, the risk of early discharge and relapse is high.

Depending on the drug – whether it is methamphetamines, cocaine, heroin or other opiates, prescription opioids or benzodiazepines, or other drugs – medical detoxification varies in the amount of time it takes. Regardless, though, comfort is important because withdrawal symptoms may appear at any time. The more patients feel safe and “at home”, they are more likely to complete detox treatment and move on to aftercare.

It is important to find treatment that offers drug detox in Los Angeles within the same residential or outpatient facility. Drug addiction has a power over the will of addicts that can easily lead them back to drug use even after they complete detox treatment. Removing the temptation of the outside world during this transition goes a long way toward keeping patients in treatment.
