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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Holdrege provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
