Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pippa Passes, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pippa Passes provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
