Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Clarksburg, IN.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clarksburg offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
