Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Vincennes, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Vincennes offers medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
