Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Winslow, NE.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winslow provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form 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 detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
