Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mount Vernon, AR.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Vernon provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
