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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Walnut Creek provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
