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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Horse Cave offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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