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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Madison provides medical detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
