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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stone provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
