Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hardinsburg, IN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hardinsburg offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
