Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Weeksbury, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Weeksbury offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 a history 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 treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
