Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Kenton, Kentucky who need professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons people find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological discomforts 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Kenton, Kentucky detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but simply the first step of an extensive drug rehab program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
