Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Coldstream, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Coldstream offers medically supervised 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 even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 recovery program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
