Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pine Ridge, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pine Ridge provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
