Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Tell City, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tell City offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
