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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Martha provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
