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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Patricksburg provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised 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 withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
