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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Smithville provides medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
