Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in Guthrie, Kentucky who need help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they will need to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Guthrie detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional assistance to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
