Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Harrisville, OH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harrisville offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
