Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Burton, OH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Burton provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
