Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Norbourne Estates, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norbourne Estates offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with 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 uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
