Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Carmel, IN.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carmel provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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 detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
