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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Williamsburg offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form 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 type of substance 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
