Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Glenwood, IN.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glenwood provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
