Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Paul Island, AK.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Paul Island offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
