Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Atkinson, NE.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Atkinson provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
