Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Atka, AK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Atka provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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