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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Staunton offers medical detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
