Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Black Oak, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Black Oak provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease 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 withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 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 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 and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
