Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Francis, AR.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Francis offers medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
