Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Shirley, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shirley provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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