Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Covington, OH.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Covington offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
