Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Smithland, KY.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Smithland provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
