Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Chalmers, IN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chalmers provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
