Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Ithaca, NE.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ithaca offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in 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. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
