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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Stanford provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help 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 symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
