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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Martins Ferry offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific 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 receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
