Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Athol, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Athol offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
