Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - West Liberty, KY.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Liberty offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
