Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pomeroy, OH.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pomeroy offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form 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 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
