Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Alexander, AR.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alexander provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
