Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Creighton, NE.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Creighton provides medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
