Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Salem, OH.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Salem offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain 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 someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
