Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Pettigrew, AR.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pettigrew provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox 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 diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
