Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Stanley, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stanley provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised 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 diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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