Detoxification services are offered for individuals in Dixon, KY. who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental difficulties 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 Dixon detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the initial step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
