Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Grand Island, NE.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Grand Island provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
