Detoxification services are offered for addicted individuals in West Point, KY. who want assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental 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 depression and anxiety. In a professional West Point detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person go through 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 simply the first stage of a comprehensive drug treatment center that will further address root addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
