Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Independence, OH.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Independence provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay 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 health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
