Las Vegas Alcohol & Drug Detox

Las Vegas Medical Detox for Drugs & Alcohol
One of the common characteristics of a substance use disorder (SUD) is physical dependence on the substance(s) being misused.1 Physical dependence occurs when the body becomes so used to the drug that it thinks it requires the drug in order to function normally. When substance use is ceased or drastically reduced, the body can develop withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings can occur.2 Our inpatient rehab facility in Las Vegas offers a medical detox program for drugs and alcohol.
