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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wheeler provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through 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 miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. 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 someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
