Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Olivet, KY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Olivet provides medical detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may 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 been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
