Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bristolville, OH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bristolville offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
