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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Princeton offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
