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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bloomfield offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
