Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Littcarr, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Littcarr provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
