Detoxification services are available for addicted individuals in Lexington who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must endure 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 Lexington detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo 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 full rehabilitation, but merely the first stage of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address underlying addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
