Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Maumelle, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Maumelle offers medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
