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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westview offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
