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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kensett offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
