Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Williamsport, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Williamsport offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
