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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in London provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
