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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hagerhill provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
