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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Masonic Home offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may 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 a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
