Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Campbellsville, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Campbellsville 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 ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
