Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Arlington, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Arlington provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
