Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pleasant Hill, OH.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pleasant Hill offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
