Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hagerstown, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hagerstown provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
