Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - East Chicago, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in East Chicago provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (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 diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
