Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Auke Bay, AK.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Auke Bay provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
