Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Shelbyville, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shelbyville offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
