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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Latonia offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
