Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Somerville, OH.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Somerville provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
