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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tomahawk offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
