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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Henderson offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
