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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Brooks offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
