Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Ohio, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ohio provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
