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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marathon offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
