Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lewisville, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lewisville provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
