Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Fulton, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fulton offers medically managed detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
