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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carthage provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
