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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Beechmont offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
