Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Winnebago, NE.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winnebago provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
