Detoxification services are accessible for addicted individuals in Yerkes who want professional help coming off of drugs, which can be very difficult when someone has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult 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 effects to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Yerkes, KY. detox facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional assistance to get the person through detoxification without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but simply the first stage of an extensive drug treatment center that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
