Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Meridian, ID.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Meridian offers medically managed detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
