Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Joe, AR.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Joe offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
