Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Frenchmans Bayou, AR.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Frenchmans Bayou provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
