Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Stoney Fork, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stoney Fork offers medical detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
