Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Oakville, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oakville offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
