Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - West Point, OH.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Point provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. 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 a history with substance abuse issues 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 due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
