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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Odessa offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
