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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Auburn offers medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
