Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Little Rock offers medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.
For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
