Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Frankfort, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Frankfort offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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