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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Whitman offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might 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 might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
