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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gamaliel provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
