Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Jetson, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jetson offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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