Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Hartford, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hartford offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 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 actual treatment in itself.
