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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hanson provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular 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 may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
