Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Columbus, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Columbus provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
