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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Knox provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
