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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Florence offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
