Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Thousandsticks, KY.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thousandsticks provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history 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 treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
