Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - St. Mary Of The Woods, IN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Mary Of The Woods provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
