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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fairmount provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
