Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pembroke, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pembroke offers medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
