Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Southgate, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Southgate offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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