Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Decatur, AR.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Decatur offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
