Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Owingsville, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Owingsville offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually 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 could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
