Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Melbourne, KY.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Melbourne offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
