Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Benton, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Benton offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
