Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lima, OH.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lima provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
