Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Big Clifty, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Big Clifty provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (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 subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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