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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Flat Lick provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
