Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Columbus, PA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Columbus offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
