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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lucas offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could 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, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
