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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wooton offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
