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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sidney offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
