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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cunningham provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
