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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ghent offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
