Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Island, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Island provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
