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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Charles provides medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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