Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Maryhill Estates, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maryhill Estates provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
