Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Springfield, OH.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Springfield provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
