Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Onward, IN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Onward provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
