Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Laurel, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Laurel provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could 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 someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
