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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Jefferson offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history 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 center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
