Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Meadow Vale, KY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Meadow Vale offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
