Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Fountain City, IN.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fountain City provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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