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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scuddy provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
