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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wales provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what 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 a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
