Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Derby, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Derby offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
