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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hicksville offers medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
