Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Greers Ferry, AR.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Greers Ferry provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
