Detoxification services are offered for people in Paintsville who need 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 main reasons people find it challenging to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they have to go through to detox on their own. Many physical and emotional 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 symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Paintsville, 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 detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not drug rehab, but merely the initial stage of an extensive drug rehabilitation facility that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the person can achieve long term sobriety.
