Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Maceo, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maceo provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual 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 uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
