Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Universal, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Universal offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
