Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ansonia, OH.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ansonia provides medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
