Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Platte Center, NE.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Platte Center offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
