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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richwood provides medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
