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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wapakoneta provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
