Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hardinsburg offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
