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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Falcon provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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