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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Seldovia offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe 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 ease 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 withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
