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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shishmaref provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
