Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pender, NE.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pender offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
