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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marshes Siding offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
