Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rochester, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Rochester provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
