Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Garrison, KY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Garrison offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
