Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Delaware, OK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Delaware offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised 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. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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, there would ideally be an immediate and easy 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 actual treatment in itself.
