Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Scottown, OH.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scottown offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
