Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Healy, AK.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Healy offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
