Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ashdown, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashdown offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help 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 withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
