Detoxification services are accessible for individuals in Horse Cave who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological challenges 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Horse Cave, Kentucky detox facility, detoxification services help the individual go through this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehabilitation, but simply the first step of a comprehensive drug rehab facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
