Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Unalaska, AK.

Detoxification is the first step 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 Unalaska provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
