Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alpha, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alpha provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
