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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Woodsfield offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall 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 rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
