Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Westerville, OH.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westerville offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
