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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Letcher provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form 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 substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
