Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hebron, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hebron offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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