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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Heritage Creek provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally 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 treatment in itself.
