Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lewiston, NE.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lewiston provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically 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 health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
