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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lakeside offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
