Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Eek, AK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Eek offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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 detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
