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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Quitman provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
