Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Atwood, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Atwood provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
