The first step in the Placentia treatment program is the detox; this process will help to rid the body of the toxins that have accumulated during the drug or alcohol addiction. The reason it is so important for an individual from Placentia, California to have professional assistance during this process is because the staff at the Alcohol Rehab or Drug Treatment Center can help to alleviate many of the associated withdrawal symptoms.

Withdrawal symptoms occur during detox because the individual from Placentia used drugs or alcohol consistently and the brain has adapted to the presence of the substance; after a period of time, an individual will have to increase the dosages in order to experience the same effects. This occurs as the individual from Placentia develops a tolerance to alcohol or various types of drugs such as marijuana, heroin, or cocaine. Depending on the type of drug an individual from Placentia, California has been addicted to and the length of the addiction, it could be a long time before the body is able to function normally in the absence of the substance.

An example of a psychological addiction is when an individual chooses to take drug in order to ?chill out? or to numb the pain of an unpleasant circumstance.

In 2008, the number of new nonmedical users of OxyContin® aged 12 or older was 478,000, with an average age at first use of 21.8 years among those aged 12 to 49.
