Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Mayslick who need assistance 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 challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional Mayslick, Kentucky detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed medical and emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
