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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Austin provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
