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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hellier provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
