Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Karluk, AK.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Karluk provides medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
