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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elm Springs offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease 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 subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
