Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Saratoga, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Saratoga offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox 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 take part in 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. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
