Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Irvington, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Irvington provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
