Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - London, AR.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in London provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
