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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bradfordsville offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
