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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Etoile provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
