Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Waneta, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Waneta provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
