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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Middlesboro offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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