Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Alpena, AR.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Alpena offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 a person who has been struggling 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 recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
