Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Louisville offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For an individual who has a history 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 recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
