Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Wellington, OH.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wellington offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
