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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winona Lake provides medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
