Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Fulton, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fulton offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
