Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Portland, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Portland offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
