Detoxification services are available for individuals in Thousandsticks, KY. who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the main reasons people find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological 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 anxiety and depression. In a professional Thousandsticks 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 full rehabilitation, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can remain abstinent.
